What they're saying

"
Matthias Jaissle had made it clear to his players that they needed to take losing a duel personally following their meek performance against Leeds United. It was rather telling that Lewis Miley won the ball back high up the field in the build-up to Willock's opener, while Lewis Hall also dispossessed a blue shirt before doubling his side's lead just a few minutes later.
